De Gustibus Non Disputandum—
And he is a fool who expects to please
e\rrrj body. Because if we . re a!
‘equally c jnscieutious and honest,
which may admit of argument, still
"'t are so constituted, that we do not
BeB things alike, and may and do differ,
continually. Hence we are not sur
prised that, our remarks about Capt.
Bryant have given offence, and the
Georgian hasbee'n denounced for print
ing them. The fools are not all dead
yet. We have carefully reviewed what
we wrote and published, and cannot
retract one word, and will cheerfully
leave our vindication, to those in
telligent gentlemen who heard the
speech. If it can be shown that wha;
we stated is not true we’ll make the
correction. Capt. Bryant is no fiiend
of ou-s either politically or otherwise
We think his course, (so far as he has
acted with the Democracy of the State)
■Conservative, and we approve it. ' We
are sorry that he still clings to the
festering remains of Radicalism, and
would be glad to see hfrn come out Idee
Dr. Bard of the" True Georgian and
take the side of Constitutional Gov
ernment.
The clamor that our rematks have
excited, reminds us of an incident in
this county that happened in 1837 we
had been selected to deliver an address
on the 4th of July. Great preparations
had beeu made, a sumptuous barbacue
had been proposed.
' Unfortunately for the harmony of
thff occasion our address was strongly
Bpieed with Whig hostility to A 7 an
Burcn and General Jackson, and .ve
Said something which gave great of
fence. One old gentleman ['articular! \
learning that his old friend Squire S
\vas greatly offended and would r:o;
eat of the barbecue, refused to eat ard
said that “he did not care for what the
young orator said, he was a young man
and they could not expect much of him.
But that Qol. W. eoqld stal'd up and
read such a pack of abuse, he could
not and would stand it” and left the
ground'. (Col. W. had only read the
Declaration of Independ nee.)
The War—has latterly' been alto-
geather unfavorable to France. Their
grand army of the Loir, has been de
feated. Paris is still besieged, and i>
suffering with famine, and the German
army is advancing upon Lyons, a mari
tine.city, of 200,000 inhabitants. We
do not tee what beffc.r Fiance can do
than, give up the contest,’ and’ the soon
er the better. She has shown both
Courage and endurance but we think, it
madness in her to prolong the struggle
further.
Thompson & Walters.—The busi
ness : card of 'this well known and reiia
blc house, established in the year 1859,
will be seen by reference to the new
advertisements. The senior member of
the firm has been long and favo ably
known to the merchants and- citizens of
Middle Georgia, for his strict integrity.
The junior member, Mr. Walters, al
though quite a young man. in years, has
all the elements of a true merchant,
and we do not hesitate to predict that
under the tutelage of his senior copart-
fter, if lie improves the golden moments
of his apprenticeship, we predict a suc
cessful future.
• These commission merchants whole
sale dealers in Groceries, Liquors,
Fruits, &c., will always merit- the con
fidence and support of all cautious buy
ers. These gentlemen keep a large
variety of every thing in their line—
always something to attract the eye
as well as pleasant to the taste. We
commend these gentlemen to the favor
able consideration of the merchants and
cstizens. gsnorqlly.
The Southern -Farm- and Home
for December, is on our table." It entries
freighted, as usual, with much useful
matter, both practical and theoretical,
and we heartily recommend it to the
agricultural community as a Journal
that may be read with profit. A portrait

The Nominations.'
We have seldom seerr our town so
crowded as it was on Tuesday the 6th
instant.
Tlu- Delegates of the white Nomina
tmg Convention, the Candidates and
their fiiecds were out in full force, and
several hundred freedmen were here
who camel to arrange their Ticket for
the canvass. •
The 'negroes appointed as a corn-
mi’tce of eompromise, hail a conference
wuli a committee appointed by the
convention; But the'only proposition
submitted by- them was that if the
whites would nominate a gentleman
whom they had selected and vote for
the negro candidate they presented they
would vote the Ticket. This of course
was declined, arid both parties chose
their Ticket, which we publish today.
We have a word to say to the D«.-m
ocracy. When there were so many
Aspirants for Office and so few Oifices,
of neecsity some'are disappointed, this
could not be helped. The convention
had a delicate thankless duty to per
form.
They have performed it, and al
though, we might have selected other
: inen, arid may feel disappointments
that our favorites are not nominated,
yet what shall we do?
The Convention has chosen eonserva-
ivo, intelligent, honest, and capable
men and we hold it to be the duty of
every man who looks to the publicfp-
tercst to support them. All of them
have been faithful! to the South in its
hour of peril, some have lost a limb in
hattleing for Southern rights. And n
is due to them, it is due to the country,
it is due to ourselves, that we give
them a united and hearty support. Let
no man then fail, to put in his vote. If
we would rescue the State from the
rule of those who have already bank
rupted it. If we would preserve even
a semblance of Republican freedom,
now is the time to do it. Let every
man come to the polls and see that, his
ballot is deposited properly !
Mr. A. D. Jernigan.—We call the
attention of our readers to the letter of
Mr. A D. Jernigan, in our columns.
We krow nothing of the facts, only
that we were told bv a member of the
Convention that, had it not been for
the repoit, (complained of by Mr. J )
he would have been nominated.” We
are sorry that anything has oeeured, to
disturbed the harmony of the party,
and regret that our Brother Jernigan,
has good grounds of complaint.
General DuBose, Candidate for Con
gress from this District was in town ou
Tuesday ast. We are glad to see the
General looking itr fine inJatth and
spirits.

To the People of Washington Co.
In appearing before you as a candi
date for the Clerkship of the Superior
Court, it is due to you and to myself
that I give the reasons which have de-
termined my conduct.
When I announced myself as a can
didate through the columns of the Geor
gian, it was ipy intention, to abide the
action of any convention of the people.
This I have always-done and still inten-
d -d to do, and had my name been pre
sented fairly before the convention,
without any misrepresentation, I should
have cheerfully abided its decision. .
• But when, as I learn is true, that the
members of the convention were.pre
judiced against me by being informed
that I “would not abide the decision of
the convention, that I was an.-indepen
dent candidate.” I do not feel.that I
have been treated fairly, and I there
fore appeal from the decision of the
convention to you ; confident that you
will do what you believe to be right.
• I did not learn until the convention
was assembling the false rumors that
had been put in circulation. I called
upon several members of the conven
tion, and requested them to contradict
the falsehood and place me fairly bje :
fore the convention, I learri . rfrom
members of the convention that it was-
the false .representations .to which! I
have adverted tliat caused my defeat.
Born'and feared in j'our midst, bav-
'ing-served you in-the office which I now
seek, you have, long known me—to my
past rfecord I confidently appeal and
ask you by your votes to vindicate my
character from aspersions as unjust as
they are untrue.

To the Democracy of Georgia.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee urges you to perfect at once
your organizations. The election is
near at hand. No time is to be lost.
The importance of the result cannot be
Over-estimated, llepresentatives in the
National Congress are to' be chosen.
They should be men of prudence and
patriotism ; men who will reflect honor
on tiie State and give encouragement
and support to that gallant band of
Northern Democrats who, amid all tl e
perils of the past, have been true to the
country and the Constitution. Mem
bers of the State Legislature also are
to be elected. They should he men of
integrity and sound judgment; men
whose interests are identified with the
interests of the State; who feel a pride
in her past glory; who*sympathize with
her present misfortunes, and win so
hopes depend on her future prosperity.
You can elect such men. Success is
withiu your grasp. You have but to
will it and the victory is yours. All
classes of citizens deplore the rule of
the present regime. Their pride and
their pockets alike rebel a.gai,nst its con
tinuance. The colored people are ready
to be delivered from their new bondage
which makes them slaves to the ambi
tion and tiie avarice of the office-seek
ers who aspire to be their leaders. They
begin to realize that the men of the
South, with whom they have lived so
Rug, are their true friends ; and that
those who now govern the State are fast
engulphing them and us in a common
destruction. They will not ba longer
misled by the false accusation that we
wish to put hack into slavery or take
away their political rights. They well
know that we would not do either, if we
could, and that we could not if we
would. Their best interests and ours'
alike depend on a wise and just adminis
tration of the government. ” And thou
sands of them are willing to eo-operate
with us in displacing from power those
whose incapacity arid -eekless extrava
gance have well nigh plunged the State
into bankruptcy and ruin.
But if you will have success, you
must be united among yourselves. You
must rally around tiie chosen standard
bearers of the party. Independent
candidates must have the magnanimity
and patriotism to withdraw. If they
wiil not, withdraw from their support"—
though they he your warmest persona!
friends—and leave them to suffer the
defeat they deserve. This is no time
for division in our ranks. There is too
much at stake, and ti e peril is too great.
Let us surrender party jealousies and
personal ambitions and dislikes, and
give a cordial support to the selected
candidates of the.party. .Suspend.your
business while the election is progres
sing, and attend the polls. Do not vole
at any precinct— vote on 'g at the county
site. Conform sir idly to the law In all
respects. JJ none of the appointed mana
gers appear by ten o'clock on the day of
the election, get three free holders to open
the polls, as pro died by section 1,311 of
the code. Above all things, preserve the
peace. And may God defend the right
and save the State !

Executive Committee. •
